“I came across this podcast this past summer and have been hooked ever since! I love how each episode is analyzed with such depth and I am so glad every episode is so long and full of details and feedback. I wish I had heard of this podcast years ago so that I could have written in with my own Gilmore Girls origin story. But just in case Cordia and Celeste read their reviews, here it goes...
I started watching Gilmore Girls with my mom on DVD when I was only 8 years old. Despite being so young, I immediately identified with Rory, especially because I was an only child of a single mom, and I had just started at a new school. Unfortunately, Rory wasn’t always the best role model. There’s that early episode in season 1 where Rory blows up and yells at her entire class, especially at Tristan who calls her “Mary.” I was called “New Girl” at my school, and one day I stood up in class and screamed at my classmates just like Rory. I got a very low score in “works well with others” that school year!
Growing up, I always compared my life and achievements to Rory’s at the same age. She inspired me to be a dedicated student, and to aspire to go to a good college. I was also introverted and bookish and a writer and best friends with my mom. When I came home from a school trip once, my mom met me at Bradley International Airport with “Hartford Connecticut” shirts, keychains, and other things that Lorelai bought for Rory. When I turned 16, my mom came into my room and told me the story of the day I was born, just like Lorelai did for Rory. When I started my senior year, my mom said it was my last first day of high school. She also gave me a list of all of the money I had cost her through the years.
Watching Gilmore Girls is like looking into a mirror for me and my mom, and I never know whether we love Gilmore Girls because we are close, or if we are close because of Gilmore Girls. Now I’m living far away from home but I still watch Gilmore Girls regularly, and it is such a treat to listen to a podcast that speaks my language. Thank you Cordia and Celeste for the countless hours you put into creating this immersive, thoughtful, thoroughly enjoyable podcast!”

“I found this podcast as a way to watch this show (again) without a binge watch. It's nice to hear Celeste's and Cordia's takes on the episodes. I sometimes disagree with their points of view, but they sometimes disagree with each other. It feels like friends watching and discussing....”Read full review »
